The governor has pardoned Ed
ward Sandburry, of Taylor county,
upon a petition from the peniten-
tiary physician saying that Sand
burry's health was bad, combined
with petitions from various citizens
of Taylor county. Sandburry was
sentenced by the March term of the
circuit court of 1885, to five years
imprisonment for grand larceny
Governor Wilson also issued par
don to Harvey Massie, the Preston
county forger, on the strength of a
statement by Dr. Bruce, the pen
itentiary physician, that Massie is
lunatic, and John Sraup, who
has been confined in the peniten-
tiary since last February. He was a
resident OF Jefferson county, and
was charged with attempting to burn
a lot. of wheat with intent to defraud

The German Emperor is over
ninety years old; the crown prince
is menaced with a fatal disease
Queen Victoria has already been on
the throne longer than the life of
the average generation. The en-
peror of Austria is by no means a
healthy man. Both Dom Pedro,
of Brazil, and the Pope are said to
have diabetes. Nihilist activity
against the Gar will soon, as every
one believes, result in his violent
removal. Thus half dozen of the
prominent figures of the world may
quit the stage at about the same
time, and the destinies of the nations
will be in new and untried hands.

Editor Register: As there is nc
political campaign on hand, just now
and while the political stump suck
ers and speakers are preparing then
bloody shirt campaign thunder,
thought | would drop few thought.
for our colored voters to ponder over
There was once in time, a wick.
ed King, Pharoah, who held people
in bondage for years under task
masters most cruel. A worse slav.
, cry was never known for hardships
but the time came when it was Gods
pleasure to liberate them by sending
Moses to tell the King to let them
go, but the King would not listen tic
him; but after many grievou.
plaques he let them go, and after
they were gone the King hardened
his ..heart and followed them, and
finally como to grief in the Red
Sea.
OF later date there is a politi-
cal party named Republican, claim
ing the honor of freeing people
once in slavery Now, 1 wish to
say few words concerning their
freedom, as the Republican party
claims all the credit.
Take the vote of Mason county
in 1860, to commence. Abraham
Lincoln got.2i votesi that year, and
neither one of these voters went in
to the war, but we always furnished
our quota of troops. What party
did they come from2 Can some
good Republican tell us? Don't
look around and say the Wing par
ty. When Lincoln issued his eman-
cipation proclamation telling the
South if they would come back in
to the Union they might retain
their slaves, did this show a dispo-
sition on the part of the Republi-
cans to free the slaves of the South?
Suppose the rebels had accepted the
terms of the proclamation, where
would the colored people be to-day?
So there is nothing in their claim.
The war ended, and the Republi-
can party, which claimed they had
freed you, and were your only real
compelled and forced you to
vote with them, but never let you
smell any of the spoils.
They did open the Friedman's
Savings Bank. and induced you to
deposit all your money with them
that you could spare from your liv-
ing expenses, and then busted up
and swindled you out of your hard
earnings. The Republicans are en-
titled to all the credit for this.
They told you that if Grover
Cleveland was elected you would be
put back into slavery. Do you see
any signs of it?
These latter day Republicans give
you no privileges except to vote
their ticket. They even refuse you
a school house in which to hold re-
ligious worship, and many other
things which 1 could mention. Not
wishing to trespass upon your time,
1 close by calling upon all to second
the nomination of Judge Brannon
for Governor. ARBUckLE.

President Cleveland's recognized
intention to appoint a southern man
to the supreme court vacancy, has
aroused the apprehension of certain
nervous northern editors that the
coming justice may be "tinctured
with States rights doctrines" The

could hardly go futher than Chief
Justice Waite, Justices Miller, Brad

Mr.. Robert T. Lincoln does not
propose to lend his name as an in

Republican Presidential ticket. He
has declared very decidedly that he
is through with public life, and ''the

cannot even get the use of great
name as an issue in the next cam
paign, it will be in a condition OF

The coffee ring has been bursted.
In the attempt to increase the price
of a commodity that is daily con-
sumed by every family in the land,
a number of leading houses have
been ruined and many millions of
dollars have been lost. But the peo-
pie at large will profit by their mis-
fortune. The price of coffee will
gradually be reduced until it will be
sold at the former low figure. The
fears of a speedy return to Drowned
rye and the Old-time ''extract, were
groundIess; and genuine, pure coffee
will soon be in reach of the poorest

During the past year ConEeder-

In Roane county last week a
heavy hail storm fell in the vicinity

The SCHOOL Fnnd.

The management of the Distribu-

the Democratic party has been such
as to commend itself to all the peo-
pie. The Republicans in every
campaign have arraigned the De-
mocracy for abuses Ofthis fund, but
the records show that those abuses
exist nowhere but in the heated
imaginations of the Republican
managers. From 1865 to 1870 un-
der Republican administration the
average amount distributed each
year was 7,772.34 From 1877
up to and including 1885 the average
amount was about 100000. In
1886 1857, 62496 was distributed
The Auditor has footed up the col
lections for the general school fund
for the year ending June 10, 1887,
and ascertains that the Distribute
BILE school fund for the year 1887
amounts to s4O2, 39s.s7, the largest
school fund in the history of the
State. Next year when the Repub-
ican press and orators are endeavor-
ing to convince the people that the
Democratic party has forfeited their
confidence they will have but little
to say about the management of the
school fund.

At the East Senator Sherman S
speech is received with disappoint-
ment and regret by veterans in the
party management. They realize
that it is the very last ammunition
with which to meet the general sue
cess of Mr.. Cleveland's administra-
ton. The old argument that the
administration is better than the
Democratic party is a most unwilling
compliment to the President and to
the great compelling power of in
fuence. The Republican party fail

ty. The party is likely to win
